WALNUT CREEK, CALIF./ Feb. 1, 2020/— Lindsay Wildlife Experience announced today that it has joined Museums for All  to increase accessibility to museums and other learning centers, and encourage people of all backgrounds to become lifelong museum-goers.

Visitors who present a SNAP Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) card and a picture ID will be charged a minimal admission fee of $3 per person for up to four individuals at Lindsay Wildlife. The program is effective immediately.

An initiative of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Association of Children’s Museums (ACM), Museums for All is part of Lindsay’s commitment to broaden its reach and make its science-based education and wildlife conservation programs accessible to all.
